INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER FINDS COUN. JUDY FARRELL GUILTY OF TWO TAY VALLEY TOWNSHIP CODE OF CONDUCT VIOLATIONS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Tay Valley Township Coun. Judy Farrell has been found guilty by an integrity commissioner of two code of conduct violations. In a report by Peterboroughbased lawyer M. John Ewart, delivered to the township on Tuesday, Oct. 9, Farrell was found to be guilty of two out of three alleged breaches. He recommended that the township council advise the treasurer to suspend her pay for 45 days, starting with the next pay period. Ewart also wrote that the township needed to update its own code of conduct. While the report does not mention Farrell by name, the report is listed on the township's website as a "Report from the Integrity Commissioner regarding the Conduct of Councillor Judy Farrell." However, Farrell did self-iden-

tify as the subject of the report when she declared a pecuniary interest at the special council meeting on Oct. 9. Ewart's investigation looked at the period of time from Nov. 3, 2017 to April 3, 2018, and looked at three alleged code violations, one of which she was acquitted of. Ewart not only spoke to Farrell, but also members of township staff, such as chief administrative officer Larry Donaldson, plus council minutes and emails, "as well as having reviewed the written complaints/allegations received with respect to the conduct of the member. I have also received the written and oral submissions of legal counsel for the member," wrote Ewart. The complaints were received on March 30. It was alleged that: See FARRELL, page 5

FIRST PARKING TICKET TO BE A WARNING, OTHERWISE PERTH PARKING FINES STAY THE SAME: COUNCIL DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Set parking fines will stay right where they are, except for the first ticket, which will now just be a warning to improperly
parked motorists. Perth Mayor John Fenik had stated that he was opposed to proposals put forward by town staff that would see parking fines increase with each parking infraction over a set period of time.
"I have concerns about increasing levels of fines that are held over people for a year," said Fenik during Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2. See PARKING, page 4

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Last summer's drought wasn't pretty. So much so that Coun. Ed McPherson was concerned about the water levels in Stewart Park. "If you tell me that (water-
way) looked good going through our park this summer, I'll say you're wrong," said McPherson during Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2. "I'm not a hydrologist," he added, but he wondered if water flow could be increased during times of drought.
Environmental services director Grant Machan said that rocks can be moved from one rocky ramp to another, from the one at the end of the Mill Street cul-de-sac to the one at the Rainbow Bridge, and vice versa. "Last spring we had a pretty good flow in there," said Coun.
Jim Boldt. "We had a very, very dry summer ... I hope that won't be a trend." Machan said he could show the engineering firm handling this project and possibly amend the design. But "there will be cost on this," when it comes to moving rocks, if need be, as it is
not a line item in the budget. "I think it is an appropriate thing to listen to our citizens," said McPherson. "I see this as a simple, simple phone call" to the engineer, McPherson added. "I could give them a call," said Machan. "We're getting there," said Mayor John Fenik, regarding fine tuning the look and flow of both rocky ramps.

The Perth Fire Services are urging everyone to keep fire safety in mind as the temperatures turn colder. “We often see more home fires during the winter months due to heating equipment and appliances,” said Town of Perth Fire Chief, Trevor Choffe. “People need to pay close attention to potential fire hazards such as fireplaces, furnaces, chimneys and vents and space heaters.” There are some simple things people can do to stay fire safe during the colder months: • Have all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually by a registered fuel contractor. Go to COSafety.ca to find a contractor near you. • Keep chimneys and intake/exhaust vents for furnaces and heating appliances free of debris, ice and snow accumulations to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) build-up from inefficient combustion. • Burn dry, well-seasoned wood in fireplaces and woodstoves to reduce the risk of excessive creosote build-up in chimneys. • Allow ashes from your fireplace or woodstove to cool before emptying them into a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Keep the container outside. • Keep space heaters at least one meter (3 feet) away from anything that can burn, including curtains, upholstery and clothing. • Replace worn or damaged electrical wires and connections on vehicles and extension cords and use the proper gauge extension cord for vehicle block heaters. • Consider using approved timers for vehicle block heaters rather than leaving heaters on all night. • Ensure that vehicles are not left running inside any garage or building. • Ensure there is a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas of your home. • Install CO alarms to alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. The Perth Fire Service reminds everyone that the Ontario Fire Code requires smoke alarms to be installed on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas. Carbon monoxide alarms are required outside all sleeping areas if the home has a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. For more information about smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, or fire safety, contact The Perth Fire Services at 613-267-5574, or firechief@perth.ca.

"PARKING IS AT AN ABSOLUTE PREMIUM" Continued from page 2
But Forbes Symon, town hall's director of development and protective services, explained that his proposal, part of a larger package of parking reforms, is "designed to deal with chronic, repeat offenders," when it comes to parking infractions. "Perth has a reputation currently about being very stringent about parking," said Coun. Judy Brown, and that Symon's proposal might "alleviate" this reputation. But Coun. Riq Turner agreed with the mayor, saying "I have a real problem with this as well," he said. "I think we need to be fair to the people who live here," Turner continued. "Let's be real here." He conceded that "we are a tourist town," and that they should be made to feel welcome, but "I don't see why we treat residents who pay the bulk of the taxes in this town as second class citizens," said Turner. "Parking is at an absolute premium," said Coun. Jim Graff. "This is one issue that the mayor and I agree (on) tonight," said Coun. Jim Boldt, who called the proposed graduated parking fines "regressive ... I'm going to be more and more pissed if my fines are more and more higher. Being regressive is not in my DNA." Coun. Ed McPherson said that "we all see tourists coming in here (to town hall) mad," at having gotten a ticket. As for Symon's contention that the proposal was to deal with "repeat offenders," McPherson wondered if targeted measures could be made to deal with those several individuals instead of a blanket policy. Council agreed, after some discussion that, the "first ticket is a courtesy," said Fenik, simply a warning instead of a fine, "a get-out-of-jail free card," said Fenik, with the parking fines remaining status quo. The overall package passed, and now goes on to the Oct. 16 town council meeting.

1. Farrell refused to disclose a conflict of interest; 2. Farrell breached confidentiality; 3. Farrell released confidential information. Farrell was found guilty on points one and three listed above, and not guilty on the second count. Farrell questions timing In a telephone interview on the morning of Friday, Oct. 12, Farrell questioned the timing of the report's release, coming less than a week before voting begins, and less than two weeks before election day. "They are trying to get me to withdraw my name for deputy reeve," she said, claiming that the report was meant "to defame me to the voters of Tay Valley before the election ... It's a ploy to have it come out before the election." Farrell even used section six of the code of conduct itself to defend her actions, citing the portion on "principles (which) should be used as a guide," specifically, "in making decisions, always place the interests of the taxpayers first and, in particular, place them before the interests of colleagues on council, staff, friends, or family." "I've stood up for the taxpayer," she said. When told that her name was not in the report, but did identify her on the township website, Farrell said: "It shouldn't (be). The council is opening itself up for a liability." Ewart did contact her via email, but "he didn't go through my lawyer," which upset her lawyer. In mid-September, she took part in a conference call at her lawyer's office in Ottawa with Ewart, but she claimed that "this man (Ewart) had his mind made up." When asked how she felt that she was acquitted on one of the three complaints, she said, "I do find some solace in that," but reiterated that she should have been cleared on all three. The report was discussed in camera on Oct. 9. During the discussion on the matter, Farrell left the chambers. She returned later to hear that the report would be made public. Because the penalty involved a "pecuniary" penalty to her, she again had to leave the room as the matter was discussed by council. Reeve Keith Kerr requested a recorded vote the report's recommendations, including suspending Farrell's pay. Deputy Reeve Brian Campbell and Coun. RoxAnne Darling voted against the motion. Farrell was marked absent, and all other members of council present voted yea, including Kerr. Farrell also questioned why, if these complaints were first made in March, it took until September for her to be spoken to. The longer a process like this drags on, she said, "it costs the taxpayer more." She herself has had to cover $30,000 worth of legal fees. When asked what her next course of ac-
tion would be, she stated: "I'm going to win the seat for deputy reeve," and that, if elected, "we are to start working with our townspeople." The matter of the report has come up during her campaigning, and "I'm getting so much support. They can't believe what they are putting me through. It hasn't been pleasant," she said of the process. "It's been a horrible year." Conflict of interest On Dec. 4, 2017, township council held a special meeting at 6 p.m. One of the items on the agenda "was identified as being for the purposes of solicitor/client privilege and the receipt of an investigation report," wrote Ewart. "The minutes of the special council meeting indicate that the member (Farrell) declared a conflict of interest 'in protest,'" from the in camera session and she left at 6:06 p.m., after being instructed by the chief administrative officer to do so. The matter under discussion "included remedial actions to be considered by council which may have directly or indirectly involved the member," and the township's lawyer was present. The in camera session lasted from 6:06 to 8:34 p.m. Council meeting minutes from Dec. 4 "indicate that both the chief administrative officer and the municipal solicitor had informed the member that the member had a direct interest with respect to the recommendations contained in the investigation report. The minutes further indicate that the municipal solicitor informed council that if the member was not willing to voluntarily declare a conflict of interest, then the solicitor would be asking council to vote on removing the member from the closed session." Ewart reported that Farrell's position was that the "subject matters to be discussed in council on Dec. 4, 2017 were unknown to the member until the commencement of the council meeting. Furthermore, it is the evidence of the member (Farrell) that the member was advised by the chief administrative officer prior to the commencement of the meeting that the close session of council was to be an information session and therefore the member was prepared to take a passive role," wrote Ewart. In his analysis, Ewart wrote that "while it is to the member's credit that the member did disclose a conflict of interest, of concern is the fact that the minutes disclose that such (a) declaration was (made) 'under protest,' and without any apparent understanding as to the obligations as a member of council to avoid situations which could, directly or indirectly, place that member in a conflict of interest as identified in the code of conduct." Ewart concluded that "based on the evidence considered, it is my finding that the member did contravene section six ... of the Code of Conduct for Tay Valley Township." Breach of confidentiality

WHY VOTE FOR TRUSTEES?
insideottawavalley.com
School board trustees hold the only democratically elected office that is solely responsible for education. A trustee is responsible for identifying the needs and priorities of their community and for ensuring these are considered in the decisions that result in practical educational opportunities for students. It is the local trustee who makes sure that the community has a direct way to express its views on vital education decisions that affect our day-to-day lives. You have the right to vote for who represents you in these important matters. WHAT DO TRUSTEES DO? School board trustees are the members of a school board. They are locally-elected representatives of the public, and they are the community’s advocate for public education. They are required to carry out their responsibilities in a manner that assists the board in fulfilling its duties under the Education Act. A trustee’s role is to maintain a focus on student achievement, well-being and equity and to participate in making decisions that benefit the board’s entire jurisdiction while representing the interests of their constituents.

On Dec. 4, 2017, township council "received the report of the independent investigation carried out with respect to allegations of workplace harassment involving the member," wrote Ewart. "The member was a named respondent in that investigative process," under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act. Farrell was advised as to the findings and conclusions of the investigation by way of written correspondence on Dec. 5, marked "confidential." "The member (Farrell) was advised that any information obtained by participating in the investigative process should not be shared with any third party," wrote Ewart. Farrell had also undertaken a nondisclosure agreement on Oct. 10, 2017, in which she agreed "not to disclose the nature of my discussions with the investigator to anyone while the investigation is ongoing." However, on Jan. 29, 2018, Farrell was a guest on Lake 88 FM's "In Focus" program. The interview lasted 12 minutes and 13 seconds, "during which time the member makes several statements with respect to the workplace harassment investigation having been carried out, including comments as to the process and evidence which was considered during the workplace harassment investigation," wrote Ewart. Ewart considered the comments made on the public airwaves to be "a matter of public record ...(so) I feel at liberty to set out such statements verbatim without concerns of confidentiality." Four minutes into the interview, she said that "taxpayers and builders didn't want anything to do with Tay Valley because of the way they were handled in those two departments," said Farrell. Six minutes into the interview, Farrell charged that "It was alleged by the employees of the department that my comments to the public and my thumbs-up constitute harassment." And at the seven minute mark, she alleged that "only friends of the accusers were interviewed by the investigator even though
several contractors and residents were wiling to testify and tell how they had been treated and dealt with in those two departments." In his analysis, Ewart wrote that during the live radio interview, Farrell discussed "information as to the nature and process of the investigation (which) was disclosed, including evidence received during the course of the investigation." Ewart conceded that "it could be argued that" the nondisclosure agreement she signed on Oct. 10, 2017 "had expired due to the investigation having been concluded," the "cautionary statement" of the Dec. 5 letter "would serve to provide notice," that confidentiality remained in place. However, Ewart continued that "I accept the evidence of the member that any information provided during the course of the radio program was not learned during the investigation but obtained from third party sources outside of the investigation process and as such, no breach of the code of conduct occurred. Based on the evidence considered, it is my finding that the member did not contravene section one ... of the code of conduct for Tay Valley Township." Release of confidential information Following an article published in The Perth Courier, posted online about the Blueberry Creek nature school, township council convened a committee of the whole meeting on March 6, 2018. Council voted that the chief administrative officer "will speak with the township's solicitor regarding the content of the media release," regarding the school, "before it is released tomorrow." On March 8, 2018, at 6:36 p.m., Donaldson forwarded an email to all members of council "setting out efforts by municipal staff to keep members of council informed with respect to the matter ... with a draft media release." In the subject line were the words: "Draft media release - Confidential." Within the email, Donaldson urged "all members of council to keep the email 'among those circulated.'" On March 12, 2018, Donaldson received an email
from "a third party," whom this newspaper has since identified as Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid. Reid, whose wife Robyn Mulcahy owns the Blueberry Creek school. In the email he noted he had obtained a copy of the March 8 email "in which you make false statements about my conduct and that of (my spouse) at a meeting on Jan. 16, 2018." That date is significant in that it is the date that Mulcahy and Reid held a contentious meeting with Donaldson regarding the school. Ewart's report found that during a closed session of the township's committee of the whole on April 3, 2018, Farrell "admitted" that she had disclosed the email to Reid. "The issue of the disclosure of the March 8 ... email had been the subject of discussion at the regular meeting of council on March 20, at which time those members of council present, including the member, had denied knowledge of any such disclosure." Farrell later said that she did not own up to giving the email to Reid at the March 20 meeting because the "legal opinion sought" by her, "had yet to be provided." Farrell said that the email she received from Donaldson "did not contain a subject line and contained misinformation regarding the third party." It is at this point in the report that concerns about the difference of a minute becomes a point of contention. Farrell did indeed receive an email from Donaldson on the evening of March 8, after 6 p.m. But her email is time stamped 6:35, while Donaldson's is time stamped 6:36. "The concern with this particular email is the fact that the subject line (of the email Farrell received) is not present ... It is difficult to explain how the member came into possession of an email of March 8, 2018, 6:35 p.m., as the contents of the two emails are identical, save and except for the subject line containing the words 'Draft Media Release - Confidential,' and the time of the email." After meeting at length with Donaldson about this, Ewart concluded that "only one email was sent by the chief administrative officer at 6:36 p.m."

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Beauty is skin-deep, and Attorney General Caroline Mulroney agrees that the Perth courthouse is big on beauty. After touring the Perth courthouse on Friday, Oct. 12, Mulroney addressed a special meeting of the County of Lanark Law Association in the historic courtroom one, saying that in her three months as attorney general, she had visited quite a few courthouses but "none (were) as beautiful as your courthouse here." That being said, after talking with judges, lawyers and other staffers at 43 Drummond St. W. over the noon hour, "I appreciate more today that beauty alone is not enough to sustain the justice needs (here)," Mulroney said. Lanark County is growing, she added, and she promised that "I will take the concerns that I have heard here to the ministry," she said. Mulroney's visit is not the first one to the Perth courthouse by a sitting attorney general. Former Liberal office holders Madeleine Meilleur visited on Jan. 8, 2016, and Yasir Naqvi visited on March 24, 2017. One of the first institutions established in Perth shortly after its 2016 founding, a courthouse is "an integral part of the fabric of the community," said Mul-

roney. "It is not just for judges and lawyers. It is your courthouse." After Mulroney left for another engagement, the association heard from various members, including family law lawyer Teresa DuBois, about the struggles they and their clients face in the administration of justice at the facility. In family court, many cases "do involve an element of domestic violence," said DuBois, as well as a "very high level of conflict." With tensions running high on both sides, this "creates a very real emotional and physical risk," with both sides having to be in such proximity in the often cramped quarters. The court See - page 9

Perth is now in the best financial position in the past 25 years. My goal is to continue with our low tax increases while opening our doors to new development and businesses. I have worked with residents locally to address building concerns (Rodgers Road apartment) which resulted in changes to the building design, I have proposed new ideas to address safety issues on highway #7, truck traffic routes in Perth and have proposed ideas for reviewing our planning decisions by including greater public input. I have the time, experience and ability to continue to make Perth an affordable place to live with all of the amenities our citizens have come to expect. I would like to bring my experience to our new council and would appreciate your support.

Another municipal election is upon us. It's a time when you get to have your say about who you want to represent you on your town or township's council. On average, municipal election voter turnout tends to be lower than the turnout for federal or provincial elections. According to Elections Canada, 66.1 per cent of people voted in the 2015 federal election - the highest turnout since 1993. Fiftyeight per cent voted in the 2018 provincial election held earlier this year. Now compare those numbers with the average voter turnout across Ontario, reported by the Association of Municipalities Ontario, in the last municipal election held in 2014, where only 43.12 per cent of voters in Ontario showed up at the polls. In Lanark County, Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills had the highest voter turn out during the last municipal election both seeing 53 per cent of their electorate casting a ballot. The lowest voter turnout was observed in Beckwith, where only 23 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot. To me, this is backwards. Arguably, municipal councillors and mayors have the most direct impact on you in your day-today life. If you're frustrated
about pot holes, a certain bridge not being repaired, or concerned about the cleanliness of your local park - all issues within the purview of your municipality - can be brought to your local council. While municipal politics might light up social media after issues from meetings have been reported by various media outlets, not many people seem interested to come out and sit in the council chambers while contentious issues are being discussed. Watching the meetings broadcast on television is also a good way to understand what's going within in your municipality's council. Being an informed voter is important. As someone who sits at town council and committee meetings each and every week, there is nothing better than watching your elected officials debate inperson to help you understand who you've elected to represent you, and whether or not they actually speak to your values. Many people will gripe online (and in person) about what's going on in their municipality, but how many of them will actually vote? If you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain. Many municipalities now offer the convenience of telephone and Internet voting. If you've got time to check your email or Facebook, or call up a friend, you've got time to vote. Monday, Oct. 22, is your chance to tell your elected officials what you think. If you haven't registered to vote, please do. You live in a democracy. This is your chance to tell your current, and prospective elected officials, what you think of them. Evelyn Harford is a reporter with the Smiths Falls Record News.

WHO WE ARE LETTERS & COMMENTARY READER PREFERS TO MAKE UP OWN MIND AFTER RECEIVING LETTER ENDORSING CANDIDATES To the Editor; Recently I received a flyer from a private citizen telling me who to vote for in Tay Valley Township. The owners of the Blueberry Creek School (Nature Centre) were once again pleading their case that they weren't really a school - really, and they should be allowed to continue operating in a flood plain. The squabble, as I understand it, is the evolving definition of "school" and whether Blueberry Creek is one. While it seems that a lot of effort has been spent on de-
fining what constitutes a school, I believe the more germane question is why the province says you should never build a school in a flood plain in the first place. The flyer went on to list the candidates who supported the Blueberry Creek position. Lately, we have seen in the U.S. how the loudest screamers usually win. This Canadian version is less jarring, but make no mistake - we are being "yelled" at by someone who has a problem with the fiduciary responsibilities of Tay Valley Township; who wants their issue addressed immediately and who wants us to stack the court, as it were, with their friends to ensure their grievance is rectified
We dig deeper on the issues that matter to you.

to their satisfaction. While it is annoying to have someone tell me who to vote for, especially based on a single issue, at the end of the day any private citizen has the right to plead their case. I wish I had dark money from a one per center to pay for a widely distributed missive, but I will have to settle for this letter to the editor. As stated earlier, the flyer identified the candidates who support the school's position. Thanks, but I prefer to vote for people who want to represent the interests of all who live in the township. Especially the kids who would be attending classes at a schoollike entity in a flood plain - in the spring.

should be a place "to try to calm the conflict and make people feel safe," said DuBois. But "with our current environment, we are not doing that. We need a space that allows people to come in from a separate entrance." While appearing before a judge is common practice for a lawyer, for their clients "appearing in front of a judge is one of the central events of their life," with the results possibly being "life changing," and adding to the stress. "The lack of meeting space is problematic," DuBois continued. Lawyers sometimes have to talk in hushed whispers in the hall, or even on the front lawn if the weather permits. "That's a problem.
It's a huge barrier to justice ... (There is) not a lot of privacy. That shouldn't be happening." Often physically absent from these proceedings, but front of mind for all involved, are the children, and any delays can have a major impact on them, which can see a "child growing up in limbo because decisions are not being made about them in a timely way." Nicola Edmundson, senior counsel for Family and Children's Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, and president of the law association, said that when she is in court, "heightened emotions (become) charged by being put into a bottled up space," she said, which can undo any "positive steps" that were made ahead of time. "Lack of
space just leads to delay," especially when you "need to speak face-toface with a (case) worker." All lawyers, both Crown and defence, require "space that is private and soundproof is very important," Edmundson said.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
This issue has been top of mind for lawyers, judges, and court staff in Perth since at least 2007. Despite visits by three separate attorney generals in 2016, 2017, and last week, two of the court's three courtrooms are still cramped, space is at a premium, there are not enough washrooms, and insufficient space for confidential lawyer-client conferences.

PERTH COUNCIL LIKELY TO PASS NEW CODE OF CONDUCT DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Madonna may have lived in a material world, but Mayor John Fenik believes that municipal politicians are living in the world of the integrity commissioner. "We are living in the world of the integrity commissioner," said Fenik, during Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2, during a debate on the town's revised code of conduct. Under new provincial legislation, all municipalities must employ the services of an integrity commissioner, and every citizen has "a right to go to the integrity commissioner," said Fenik, if they have a complaint against a member of council. Fenik explained that the code is exactly the same as the one that is used at Lanark County council. But he added that "the problem
with this is that it is also a costly thing," said Fenik, though, when it came to Perth town council, complaints were "few and far between." Every time a complaint is lodged through an integrity commissioner though, "it costs us," he said, adding that he hoped that "future councils will be on their best behaviour." Coun. Riq Turner wondered about frivolous and/or repeat complaints being launched by irate voters, but Fenik said that these people would be dealt with under the town's "unreasonable customer behaviour policy," for those whose behaviour was deemed to be "vexatious or frivolous ... It will be up to the integrity commissioner's office," to see if such a complaint has merit of investigation. Turner said that "we've been able to take care of this pretty well in house," and suggested
that, if a problem could not be solved within the walls of town hall that it could then go to the commissioner. Town clerk Lauren Walton said that the request for proposal for a commissioner contained a clause that there be "no retainer fee" and that "we have always had a code of conduct," but she reminded Turner that "the legislation has changed and we are required to have an integrity commissioner. It's not an option." "It sounds like it's a fait accompli," replied Turner. "The question becomes (one of) enforcement for me," said Fenik, pointing to an extreme example of sanctions taken against a county mayor, who was suspended his pay for 90 days after he was found to be in violation. While there are financial penalties to be made against a member of council, Walton stressed
that "you can't dismiss a councillor," she said. "You're all going to have a code of conduct, whether you like or it not," said Coun. Ed McPherson. There is a $150 fee for filing a complaint with the commissioner, and the complainant has to cite which part of the code was broken, and "I don't expect we will get a lot of these. The majority of complaints are not founded." Walton agreed that "the clerks don't foresee a sudden barrage of applications," she said. Fenik said that he gets phone calls all the time as mayor and "I'll call them and get the parties together and we will work it out. That won't change," he said. "I think we should vote this in." Deputy Mayor John Gemmell joked that "being a good boy, I won't have to worry about this," but added that it was good to have guidelines in place because "if we try to handle it locally, we may (be accused of trying to) cover it up."
Desmond Devoy/Metroland No misconduct here: Coun. Riq Turner chats with Coun. Ed McPherson, in the foreground, before the start of Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2. Turner had several questions relating to town hall's new code of conduct by-law during the council debate. Council voted unanimously to repeal the town's old code and replace it with the new one, pending final approval at the next town council meeting on Oct. 16.

EVERY VOTE COUNTS, SO GET OUT AND HAVE YOUR SAY WRITES COLUMNIST STEPHANIE GRAY Ah, election time. There really isn't a time quite like it. In some circles we call it "Silly Season" because there is a lot going on and much to absorb; and some of it can be silly. Come to think of it, we (whoever "we" is) call a lot of things "Silly Season." Anyway, this particular election time is for our municipal and school board representatives, as you may have noticed. If you haven't
STEPHANIE GRAY Column
noticed, I hope it's because you are a space alien new to the planet. OK ... maybe not. I'm not sure how I feel about space aliens. There are several things I love about municipal government, but the biggest is that it is closest to the people. This is the action we, as taxpayers, tend to see and feel the most. For us townies, roads, garbage collection, recycling, water, sewers and snowplowing come immediately to mind as things we notice.
There are many many things we don't readily see, though, unless you make a habit of lurking around council chambers (like I do) or following newsfeeds print and social (like I do). There is a lot of stuff happening and, unfortunately, it often only gets a lot of attention every four years during election time. While I could blather on about how it is always important to be informed (especially so that you know when to evacuate), I recognize that's not always going to happen as people navigate their busy lives and deal with things that happen as they come. Not to mention the fact that being informed these
days can be distressing (perhaps not so much at the local level, though). The point I really want to make, though, is to please, please vote. Do it. It is easy to be cynical. It is easy to say "all politicians are the same" (they're not) or "all politicians are liars" (they're not). It's easy to be apathetic and critical, but then you get what you get. Sure, there are lots of people who vote, but they may not vote the way you do. They may not represent your interests or demographic. And it may sound cliché to say, "every vote counts," but it's actually true! Sometimes your one vote can make the difference between the person
you want and the one you really don't want. I think it's also important to remember that we may not always find a person who matches every single thing we believe in or want to see. In fact, I think that is usually the case. We won't agree with everything, but perfection seems to be some sort of weird necessity these days. Pro tip: Sometimes you will have to settle for less than perfect, and it's usually OK. If that doesn't suit you, maybe consider running for council yourself ? I'd rather vote for lessthan-perfect than spoil a ballot or throw up my hands and say: "They all stink! I'm not voting!" I want to have a

say in who actually sits in a chair. And if my favoured person/people doesn't/ don't get in, then at least I can say I voted and grumble with authority around the proverbial water cooler as is occasionally necessary. There are lots of excellent candidates for municipal election who have taken the courageous step to put themselves out there and do the work to represent us. Don't pass up your right to vote. Have your say. If you haven't received information about voting, make sure you check with your local municipal office to find out about voting procedures and what you need. Voting day is Oct. 22.

tricked into thinking there's a For Sale sign posted on every third property! It doesn't take much to confuse me.
The Fieldhouse Cruffin If you're never had a sample of the Fieldhouse Cruffin, you're apparently missing out. Fieldhouse, which is located on Herriot Street, is a popular spot for lunches, drinks and baked goods. For months, I've been hearing friends rave about the infamous Cruffin. It's part muffin, part croissant, and 100 per cent delicious. I took the kids there on Saturday for lunch and saw they were already sold out. Another time! But, if you get their early enough on Saturdays, you can get one for your own enjoyment. And maybe share it with me. What are your cruise tips? On a personal note, I'm heading out this weekend on a Mediterranean cruise. (Side note: don't publicize on social media that you're away on a trip. Insurance won't cover you if any breakins happen after you announced it to all your "friends" online.) Anyway, I'm heading away on this cruise and while I've got my packing list completed, I want to ask you: what's your top tip for travelling on a cruise? I've been doing plenty of research, but would love your tips and tricks for a cruisy trip. Send me a note with your ideas, as I'd love to hear them. (Double side note: my husband is staying home, so please don't break into our house. There's nothing to steal, and he'll still be there.) Do you have a Private I idea for me? Please send me a note at cathy@catscovecommunications.com.Cathy James is a former Courier reporter, and longtime columnist.

PARKING, TRAFFIC, INTENSIFICATION CONCERNS FOR ANTONIO WAY RESIDENTS OVER PROPOSED SENATORS GATE DRIVE APARTMENTS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Residents of Antonio Way in the Perthmore subdivision have signed a letter to Perth town hall urging changes to a proposed apartment building development nearby. A letter signed by 46 residents "from every house on Antonio Way ... with 15 objections to the proposal," was delivered to Perth town hall last month, according to an email sent to the Perth Courier from resident Stewart Bates on Aug. 30. The proposal in question is the Senator's Gate Drive apartments. To be clear, Bates said that "the residents have no objection to rental apartments being built there," but rather, "our main objections are that the site is being over-developed ... with insufficient car parking for the tenants. Out of the 34 proposed spaces, nine are for disabled and visitors. This results in less than one car space per unit being available." By their estimate, using town hall numbers, "there will be up to 14 cars and trucks being parked on the street, each and every night, summer and winter." Apart from parking, "there is no place for children to play as the nearest public park is quite a distance away and only comprises a grassed sloped area." The letter, sent to the town's director of development and protective services on Aug. 19, expands on some of residents' concerns. For example, "27 apartments exceeds the number of bungalows on Antonio Way, which also reflects the overdevelopment of this site. We do not accept the contention that, because there is a shortage of rental units in the town, intensification has to take place to satisfy this proposed site." The letter also highlights that if residents have a concern about parking, naturally it follows that they would also have concerns about traffic, as well. "We feel that ... this development of 27 apartments will result in an increase (in) traffic ... putting further traffic onto Garden Avenue where residents with children have already complained to the town and the media," wrote Bates. "We are also in disagreement with the position taken by town staff that traffic will not use Antonio Way and Garden Avenue to reach the downtown core ... Until a bypass is in place, and indeed after its completion, the majority of travel to the downtown core, from Perthmore, will be via Antonio Way and Garden Avenue, resulting in added security risks to residents and their families."
Town hall reply On the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 6, Forbes Symon, Perth's director of development and protective services, seated in his town hall office, said he had indeed seen Bates' letter - and had received nine others like it in the preceding weeks. In fact, he had a letter ready to go in response to the joint letter from residents and has met with Bates in person at his office. (It was sent out the next week.) Symon pointed out that the area in question was "identified for over a decade as a multi-residential block in the subdivision," he said, of the 2005 zoning designation. "It's been a while. It's always been there." Symon said that the area was indeed "identified as a townhouse block," but that it was actually a type of smaller-scale apartment building, with three units each - one in the basement, one on the ground floor, one on the second floor. The "built form is consistent with that townhouse look and feel." (The area is zoned R4, which permits both town houses and apartments. The three-apartment per "stack" model "is a very common design," he said.) As for parking, yes, "We've limited the parking in the front yard," Symon said, with major, covered parking in the rear. "This did go and get approval from the committee of adjustment on July 3, for a minor variance." One of the changes to the plan was that the building be moved closer to the street, "making it more of a community space." And, at that public meeting, "no one challenged, (or) appealed that decision," he said. Symon also noted that the apartments were not geared-to-income, nor were they condos - simply "market rent" apartments. There were concerns, in some of the correspondence he had received, about the ability of snow plows to plow the area, but "those covered parking areas (in the back) don't have a lot of snow. You don't use a snow plow," there, Symon said. But he added that "it's a legitimate concern" but no cars will need to be moved onto the road. The site plan application for the property is not finished yet - it is still in the review process, as he awaits the arrival of new documents. He anticipates that the issue will go before the planning advisory committee on Monday, Oct. 1, but "only if it is in a condition that staff feel it is in a condition ready for approval," Sy If it is approved by this committee, it goes straight to the next regular town council meeting, bypassing the committee of the whole. But as it stands, the application "is in compliance with the bylaw."

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Don't ask Ketsia Snider how she's enjoying her high school placement at the library. Because she isn't on a placement. You may see her leading a group of children in songs and reading stories, but she isn't heading back to school at the end of the semester. She's the Perth and District Union Public Library's children's librarian. "I had someone ask me how my March break was," said Snider during an interview in her office on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 27, when the library was still quiet, before any babies had arrived for that day's baby time. "It was good," she replied. "10 years ago." She has also gotten: "Oh, are you going back to school?" Born in Kingston in 1990, being in her late 20s, she does understand the confusion, being only a handful of years older than the tutors who work at the library. "Some people would be surprised," she said. She took up her duties on Herriott Street in August of 2017, and "last year, I was more intimidated by the parents," than by any of the children. But in time, she realized that "the parents are more than willing to help," often leading their own children in songs and actions. She did not travel too far for university, attending Queen's University where she studied French and history for her undergraduate, before attending teachers' college, also at Queen's.

New initiatives Among her new initiatives were a French story time earlier this year. "There are a lot of kids coming who need help with their French homework," she said, some of whom are French immersion students whose parents are not fluent in French. With the library's tutoring programs, "it is wild after school," but she is happy to see that. She wants the library to be seen as a "free open space where people can hang out ... Kids are not looking for a structured place. They've come from a structured environment at school," she said. However, with "space ... at a premium," co-ordinating time and space in the library can be an issue. She is also in the process of creating a reading buddies program because there are "a lot of people in Perth who want to volunteer, which is amazing." Her cup runneth over however, since it is "tricky ... trying to co-ordinate," it all. But she sees the library as a way to connect needs See A NUMBER, page 17

After graduation, she deferred a chance to study her masters at Montreal's McGill University to teach middle school for a year in England, in the interestingly-named town of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, about 40 minutes north of London by train (and one train stop north of Bletchley Park, home of the famous code breaking unit during the Second World War.) The town is also known as being the location of "The Great Train Robbery" of 1963. "It was fun, there was a lot of variety," said Snider. But there was a bit of a learning curve for her as a Canadian teacher standing in front of kids from grades four to seven. "I don't know anything about the Battle of Hastings!" she laughed, though, as a history student, she was up to the task of getting caught up. She soon took up distance education studies with Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ont., studying for her library and information technology
diploma, while living back in Kingston. "It was more hands-on, even though it was online," she said of the course. It was a busy time in her life studying online, working at a coffee shop, and planning her wedding. "I went to England to get a Canadian boyfriend!" she laughed. "Nothing is ever straightforward. I had met him ages ago through mutual friends at church," but continued talking to him online while she was in England. "When I came home, we started dating," she recalled. After dating for about seven months, he popped the question, and about seven months later, they were married. "When you know, you know," she said. Last year, they moved to Ottawa, only for Snider to land a job at the Perth library. She started part time as a page, while still working at a coffee shop in Ottawa, and tending to her Mohawk studies. She finished her program in December of 2016, but online students usually graduated in the fall. That would have been fine, had the college strike not occurred in the fall of 2017, so she received her diploma in the mail. In the summer of 2017, the previous children's librarian, Rachel Warren, retired, and Snider applied for the position from Scotland where she was on vacation.
"I saw it in my email. I was like, 'Oh my God, I have to apply,'" she said. She had already worked her way up to being a library assistant in Perth by this time. She had previous library experience at this point, having worked as a teenage page at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library. And how did she feel when she found out she had gotten the job? "Satisfied. Excited. Nervous. It's a lot to take on," she said. "I have lots of ideas. Long lists of ideas ... all these cool things I can do."

A NUMBER OF CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE PERTH LIBRARY Continued from page 15
with talents. "Every month brings a new thing," she said of her first year in office. "Summer is a whole different creature. Now I have an idea of the rhythm, what needs to happen and when it needs to happen." She has since moved to Perth with her husband, and now walks to work and has the pleasure of looking out her office window and seeing Coutts Coffee, where she used to work. In her new role, she most relishes the moments when she can reach a child, "whenever I can get a child a book ...(a child) who is stuck on something or does not see themselves as readers." There are other "pinch me" moments in her job as well, such as the time she realized: "I cannot believe I get to play with Lego!" Another teachable moment for young children is when she talks to students

MARIJUANA DISPENSARY DEBATE SPILLS FROM COUNCIL TO CHAMBER DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
about the "rules of the library." "Don't throw books," is one common, and correct, reply. "The library is like the book babysitter," she tells them. "This is their library. This is where they can explore."
Programs aplenty Among the children's programming available at the library: • Story time, Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. until Nov. 21. • Baby time, Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. until Nov. 15. • Heure du Conte, Tuesdays (Mardi), 11:30 a.m., sans rendez vous (drop in). • Read2Together Book Club, for children aged eight to 12, and a family member, first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. • Owls Tutoring, one-onone tutoring, Tuesdays at 3:30, 4:30, and 5:30 p.m., from junior kindergarten to Grade 6. Registration for the winter session opens on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
Smiths Falls may be home to a medical marijuana plant, but Perth appears to be home to a debate about storefront cannabis sales. At both Perth town council's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 2, and the next night at the mayoral and deputy mayoral all-candidates debate at Farrell Hall (sponsored by the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce), the issue was front and centre. The matter was again before this current council when council voted to ask town hall staff to prepare a report for the December committee of the whole meeting, after the new council is sworn in. "I know the provincial government is slowly rolling out information on this," said Coun. Ed McPherson, who is running for deputy mayor. "I'm still hearing stuff today." However, he expressed concern that while "I'm in favour of a staff report," he had concerns that staffers would be writing a report on the fly, as the rules are still being written at Queen's Park and Parliament Hill. "I don't want to tie staff members' hands." "Yes, there is a lack of clarity," said
Coun. Judy Brown. But, alluding to McPherson's concerns about tying the hands of staff members, "perhaps by then (December) there will be some clarity," on marijuana enforcement. "Municipalities have to make a decision by January to opt in or opt out," of allowing storefront marijuana sales, said Mayor John Fenik, who is up for re-election. "I have a list of questions," he said, many of which have yet to be answered. "That's what makes this so unpredictable." As the law currently stands, "there is no limit to the number of pot shops that could open up in Perth," said Fenik. Zoning is also a grey area, Fenik claimed, charging that a pot shop could open up beside the Montessori school on Foster Street, for example. He charged that the government was "flying by the seat of their pants on this," issue. Coun. Jim Graff, who is also running for deputy mayor, wondered if marijuana sales could be limited to just the pharmacies in town, but "as far as I understand, no," answered Fenik to Graff's query. "This provincial government has said it will be a free market," said Fenik. Anyone could theoretically get a licence to sell the product, he said. But, he pointed down County Road 43
to Smiths Falls, to Tweed's proposed store, "which is great. They've got security all over the place." So, if you wish to smoke up come Oct. 17, "go for it" in Smiths Falls, he said. "(We need) as much information as possible," said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who is running for mayor, who added that the legislation in question was "complex." Coun. Jim Boldt, who is running for mayor, said that "it's clear we are in an election period," and that "there are a lot of questions that need to be answered here by Queen's Park." He added that, in his estimation, the debate was "purely conjecture," but Fenik replied that "it's not conjecture at all. We have a motion before us. Conjecture? No, it is fact."

Dispensary debate continues at candidate debate The next night, the debate on storefront marijuana sales, and the legalization of marijuana, migrated down Gore Street East, during the all-candidates debate. "It's a legal product," said McPherson. "We should sell it in stores. It's a legal product for sale." There is no date for municipalities to opt back in, and there needs to be legislation covering exclusion zone policies and business licences.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com If all goes according to plan, Hugh Colton hopes that this year's Build a Mountain of Food campaign will top the 1 million pound mark for food collected over the past 11 years. Colton, who has organized the campaign since it began in Perth in 2007, held his annual campaign kick-off at the Perth Best Western Plus hotel on Tuesday, Oct. 9. Coming just the day after Thanksgiving, with turkey leftovers still jamming fridges everywhere, Colton joked that "it seems like I just shut this file and it's open again!" Food bank representatives mingled with supermarket owners, as Colton revealed that 213,732 lbs. of food were collected last year, along with 162,174.68 in cash. If those trends continue, that would be enough to put the overall total collected since 2007 over the one million lb. mark, which currently stands at 933,949 lbs. of food, and $540,201.33 in cash. (Comparatively, 3,200 lbs. of food and $1,400 in cash was col-
lected in 2007, when the campaign just hit Perth, before expanding in later years across the county, and beyond.) "The amount of generosity from your communities is incredible," said Colton. He called the pre-packaged bags of food people could pick up to donate to the food bank a " great" idea, and commended supermarkets for marking sure that they are "usually well displayed." The Build a Mountain float is usually seen out-and-about at several area county Santa Claus parades. On Thanksgiving Day, Colton was out giving the onceover to make sure that they are ready for parade days. "We will be doing as many parades as we can, logistically," he said.
The parades he has penciled in on his calendar so far are: • Carleton Place Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Nov. 24. • Perth and Athens Santa Claus Parades, Saturday, Dec. 1. • Smiths Falls Santa Claus Parade, Saturday, Dec. 8. Plus, a community night is
planned for Portland on Friday, Dec. 14. Colton is also awaiting more details on the arrival of the CP Holiday Train schedule, which usually hits Merrickville, Smiths Falls, and Perth. "The majority of people have been good," said Colton, in giving out some advice. Many people by now "know about Build a Mountain."
The Food Blitz dates and locations are as follows: • Saturday, Nov. 10: Almonte, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Patrice's Your Independent Grocer (in support of the Lanark County Food Bank The Hunger Stop). • Saturday, Nov. 10: Carleton Place, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Mitchell's Your Independent Grocer, FreshCo, and Giant Tiger (in support for the Lanark County Food Bank - The Hunger Stop.) • Saturday, Nov. 17: Perth, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Metro Perth, Barnabe's Your Independent Grocer, Foodsmiths, and Giant Tiger (in support of The Perth Good Food Bank at The Table Community Food Centre.) • Saturday, Nov. 17: Lanark, 9
a.m. to noon, at the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and Thrift Store (in support of the Lanark food bank). • Saturday, Nov. 24: Smiths Falls, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Andress' Your Independent Grocer, Food Basics, The Garden Market, and Giant Tiger (in support of the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank). • Saturday, Dec. 1: Westport, 9 a.m. to noon, at Kudrinko's (in support of the Westport Food Bank). • Saturday, Dec. 1: Elgin, 1 to 4 p.m., at Gordanier Freshmart (in support of the Elgin Food Bank). • Saturday, Dec. 8: Portland, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Portland LCBO and Royal Bank (in support of the Portland Food Bank). • Saturday, Dec. 8: Merrickville, 1 to 4 p.m., at the Merrickville Food Market (in support of the Merrickville Lions' Club's Christmas food hamper campaign). • Saturday, Dec. 15: Athens, 9 a.m. to noon, at the Athens Fresh Market (in support of the Athens Food Bank). • Saturday, Dec. 15: Delta, 1 to 4

BUILD A MOUNTAIN OF FOOD HOPES TO TOP 1 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD THIS YEAR
Desmond Devoy/Metroland Hugh Colton, organizer of the Build-a-Mountain of Food campaign, makes a point during the campaign kick-off at the Perth Best Western Plus hotel on Tuesday, Oct. 9. p.m., at the Delta Country Market (in support of the Delta Food Bank). A new addition to the Lanark village stop will be a visit by Serendipity Farm Alpacas and Llamas and Store, who "will be on site, (so) bring your family, and ride one." On a more serious note, Colton reminded everyone that "this is a crucial campaign. This will stock shelves in food banks for some time. It's a very positive type of campaign."

VILLAGE LIFE WITH RIVER VIEW
$244,900
Springfield High School stage to entertain the guests at Miss McPherson's retirement. If you saw indie women two productions' presentation of The Marvelous Wonderettes last November when the girls provided the entertainment at their prom (Act I) and their 10-year high school reunion (Act II), you won't want to miss this update of their lives and music. If you were unlucky enough to have missed it, run - don't walk - to Tickets Please so you don't miss out on this wacky and wonderful sequel. In The Marvelous Wonderettes, we met the quirky foursome in all their youthful glory and learned about the trials and tribulations of their love lives and often fraught relationships with each other. In the latest production, their favourite homeroom, home economics and languages teacher, Miss McPherson, is retiring (in Act I), but that's not as easy as one might think! In Act II, our heroines are pushing forty, but they still have what it takes to sing and dance up a storm and to annoy the heck out of each other, while entirely endearing themselves to us, the audience! The Marvelous Wonderettes (Dream On), co-produced by indie women two productions and Studio Theatre Productions, premieres at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 15 for eight shows, Nov. 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. Be sure to book your tickets in advance. Last year's show all but sold out and you don't want to be disappointed. Tickets are $27, exclusively at Tickets Please in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (613 485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) which accepts in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $27 at the Studio Theatre box office on show nights, subject to availability. Rush tickets for students with ID are just $10 at the door, subject to availability. Attend opening night and save $5. Indulge yourself in an evening of nonstop nostalgia and the highest-quality musical theatre around. Enjoy the live five-piece band, led by musical director Brad Mills. If you saw and loved Sister Act in June, two of the Wonderettes shared the lead role and can't wait to strut their stuff for you again with their two best friends. This is also a fundraiser for YAK Youth Centre in Perth.

FRANKENSTEIN COMING TO PERTH'S MASON THEATRE OCT. 19 Imagine watching any movie, whether romantic or action-packed, with the sound turned off. The emotional effect on the viewer is just not the same. The 1931 classic horror film, Frankenstein, was one of the last movies released without any underscoring, music that plays in the background during a scene. In 2002, American composer Michael Shapiro was commissioned to write a musical score to accompany the Universal Studios' Talkie, featuring Boris Karloff. Shapiro's haunting music adds more emotion to the cinematic adaptation of Mary Shelley's 200-year-old novel. The 15piece Rideau Lakes Orchestra (RLO) will bring the 70-minute film's score to life on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Mason Theatre in Perth.
RLO's conductor Alexandra Guerin has spent weeks watching the movie, scene by scene, in order to cue the orchestra at the right moment. "It's a challenge but also a lot of fun matching the music to the drama as it unfolds," says Guerin. "Shapiro has given a lot of freedom to the conductor to spot the score with the film." Several Perth businesses have agreed to sponsor a dress rehearsal open to local high school music, drama and art students to give them a chance to observe the process of putting together such a unique performance. The Rideau Lakes Orchestra, formerly known as Symphonium, has a strong connection with Perth and its area, having performed at the Stewart Park Festival, churches and local high schools.
Members of the orchestra hail from Perth and the Ottawa Valley. They are professional musicians, each with a wide range of experience performing in orchestras, military bands and chamber ensembles. Using both acoustic and electronic instruments, the RLO plays a repertoire as distinctive as its instrumentation. Michael Shapiro's score has been performed numerous times in the United States, but this will be the Ontario première of Frankenstein, it's Alive ... with Orchestra. Tickets are available at the door only. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Show at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 19. Adults, $20, 17 and under $12 at the Mason Theatre, Perth and District Collegiate Institute, 13 Victoria St., Perth. Submitted by Alexandra Guerin

JEFF MAGUIRE WONDERS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? JEFF MAGUIRE Column
Donald Trump has and is making his mark on the position of United States' president although I think it's fair to say most Americans and most interested people around the world believe it's a black mark. As a career journalist my interest lies mainly in Trump's almost daily references to "fake news." I certainly believe there is such a thing. Just watch the two major U.S. television news networks. I think most of you will very quickly determine what is fake and what is real in terms of their coverage! In Trump's case I believe "fake news" refers to anyone who writes or broadcasts anything that is contrary to his bleatings (his daily Twitter tirades for example) or those who comment on what passes for his government's policies. Yes, lots of fake news for sure! There's little doubt that in the midst of what some are calling "the Trump era" truth is taking a severe beating. At the very least a lot of people - and I'm not on-
ly referring to politicians are being rather economical with the truth these days. Fact checking has become a daily part of this unfolding drama. The number of factual "errors" Trump has made in two years number in the thousands. Fake news indeed! This is a very tough time to be a journalist, especially in the U.S. where Trump, his supporters and others are whipping people into a frenzy by suggesting that the media is "the real enemy of the people." Threats made against media members and organizations are increasing exponentially. For example, a really scary threat made against the Boston Globe newspaper recently. That led to a dramatic police raid on a home in California. A man now faces multiple charges in the case. I won't only pick on the U.S. here. Because the truth is that journalists and a free press are under attack worldwide. Sadly, the global map of countries and places where reporters are free to report the news without interference is shrinking rapidly. There isn't a week that passes without more bad news in this regard. Fortunately, it appears North American press freedom won't be strangled as easily as it has been in so many other countries. This issue has multiple personalities and what is happening south of the border has clearly rubbed off
on Canada. My concern is not so much that we are being lied to in many instances but rather that we aren't receiving all of the information we should be getting. "The whole truth and nothing but the truth" in other words! For example, there has been a lot written recently about why, in so many cases, the police in this country (and elsewhere) withhold information, delay releasing details in certain cases or don't release some things at all. It's especially true if the incidents involve the police themselves. The tragic murders of two police officers and two civilians in a shooting in the New Brunswick capital of Fredericton is a recent case in point. Why, for example, did it take so long for police to release even the number of victims involved in that terribly sad event? I'm only scratching the surface by referring to the Fredericton shooting case. There is so much more involved in Canada and other developed countries with respect to this situation in general. Fake news, or no news, has become a subject of real concern! Jeff Maguire is a career journalist who lives in Carleton Place, Ont.

CP HOLIDAY TRAIN TO STOP IN PERTH, SMITHS FALLS AND MERRICKVILLE NOV. 28 PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Perhaps the most wondrous marker for the start of the holiday season and a popular Christmas tradition for many, the CP Holiday Train will make its annual stops in local communities including Merrickville, Smiths Falls, and Perth this year on Wednesday, Nov. 28. 2018 marks 20 years of the Holiday Train's visits to communities across Canada and the United States in an effort to support the local food banks. The lit-up locomotive will start its route in Montreal on Nov. 25 with Sam Roberts Band entertaining the crowds along the way. The performers will switch-out on Nov. 27, with artists Terri Clark, Sierra Noble and Kelly Prescott taking over as the train en-
ters Ontario. Nov. 28's stops are scheduled as follows: Finch at 2:30 p.m., Merrickville at 4:45 p.m., Smiths Falls at 6:20 p.m., Perth at 7:40 p.m., and Hamilton at 7:45 p.m. The route will wrap-up in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia on Dec. 18. "On behalf of the 13,000strong family here at CP, it is my great pleasure to kick off the 20th tour of the CP Holiday Train," said Keith Creel, CP's president and chief executive officer. "It is a privilege for CP to be able to run a program like this and connect with so many communities across our network. I want to personally thank each individual who has made a donation over the past 20 years your collective efforts have made the Holiday Train a huge success for two decades."
Each event is free of charge. Instead of paying admission, attendees are encouraged to practice generosity as the holiday season approaches, opening their cupboards and wallets to address hunger needs in their communities. At every stop, the train will be collecting donations to ensure that the less fortunate are well-stocked with healthy food for the coming cold months. The full schedule of all the train's stops across Canada, including the musical lineup, is available at www.cpr.ca/holidaytrain/schedule-canada. The CP Holiday Train program has been running since 1999, raising more than $14.5 million, and gathering 4.3 million pounds of food for communities along its routes in Canada and the United States.
Paulina Hrebacka/Metroland The CP Holiday Train will be back in Perth, Smiths Falls and Merrickville on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Performers include Terri Clark, Sierra Noble and Kelly Prescott. Pictured, singer Emma-Lee opened for Colin James during the train's visit to Merrickville last November.

LAWS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOV. 17 IN SMITHS FALLS Mark your calendars: The Lanark Animal Welfare Society's annual general meeting is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Kinsman Club in Smiths Falls, from 1 to 3 p.m. Remember to get your memberships renewed in order to be a voting member of LAWS.
This week's featured pets Annabelle Hi, I am Annabelle. I've been sent to Perth Pet Valu to be adopted. I love it here; they have good food and cat trees and comfy cat beds. I hope you get me one when you come to adopt me. It has been busy in the store; kittens come and kittens go, but I am still here. Please look at me, too.
I had five babies of my own, but they've found homes already. It's my turn, don't you think? See you soon. Love, Annabelle. Ulyss Hi, I am Ulyss. My previous family had to surrender me because of serious health reasons. That was in April. It took a long time to get over that. I missed them a lot. I've been adjusting at LAWS and enjoyed being with other cats, but whenever people came to adopt I was a little shy to meet them, so I was overlooked over and over and over again. They've sent me to Carleton Place's Natural Pet Foods at 61 Bridge St. I hope someone sees this message and comes to meet me. I am truly a nice boy, with fantastic green eyes and a lovely, shiny, black coat. Would you please take a chance on me? I'd love to be in a true forever home again. Hugs, Ulyss. Felix Hi, my name is Felix, and I am a handsome orange tabby boy. I am very friendly. I am just getting over a cold, but when you
read this I should be ready to come home with you. Ralph Ralph was found outside the shelter. He was fed for a while, then he was live trapped. Initially hissing and scared, he's now following everyone who gives him attention. He's handsome, friendly and ready for his forever home. Ralph is available in Carleton Place at Natural Pet Foods. Follow us at facebook.com/lanarkanimals and/or lanarkanimals.ca. Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is at 253 Glenview Rd., Smiths Falls.

LANARK VILLAGE 5K RACE RAISES FUNDS FOR WHEELS OF HOPE EVELYN HARFORD ehar ford@metroland.com Runners of the eighth annual Wheels of Hope 5K, hosted by the Lanark & District Civitan Club on Sunday, Oct. 14, enjoyed a perfect fall run. Wheels of Hope is a Canadian Cancer Society program that helps cancer patients get to their life-saving treatment when they might otherwise have difficulty doing so. "One in five people can't get to their treatment," said co-race director and Lanark & District Civitan Debbie Keaney before Sunday's race. Debbie and her husband Dan Keaney both organize the race. In fact, it
was Dan's brainchild. "Cancer is an expensive disease," said Debbie. Living in rural areas, like Lanark, can mean long distance travel for treatment. "This will help people get treatment," said Debbie. "Wheels of Hope helps those get to cancer treatment who can't afford it." This year, 41 runners took part in the five-kilometre race and 11 kids took part in the one-kilometre family race. "I'm running to support Wheels of Hope," said 67-year-old runner, Debbie Holtom. "I think it's a great cause." The money raised for Wheels of Hope will stay locally in the Perth and Lanark areas.
Evelyn Harford/Metroland Clockwise from top-left: Runners take off from the Lanark & District Civitan Club on Sunday, Oct. 14, for the 8th annual Wheels of Hope 5K walk/run - a fundraiser for the Wheels of Hope program of the Canadian Cancer Society. This program helps manage transportation to and from cancer treatments for patients who might otherwise not be able to get there; Runner Deb Holtom, 67, gets handed her medal; Fisher Horn, first place finisher of the 8th annual Wheels of Hope 5K, stands proudly with his medal; Runner Maddie Blanchard, 9, shows off her medal.

DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Perth's new Free Methodist minister is making a leap of faith of sorts. While by no means a huge jump, Rev. Brent Russett, the longtime spiritual leader of the Sunnyside Wesleyan Church in the Old Ottawa South neighbourhood for 28 years, is now the new minister at Asbury Free Methodist Church in Perth. "It's really easy for me to transfer my credentials," said Russett during an interview in his church office on Tuesday, Oct. 2. The Wesleyans and Free Methodists see each other as "sister denominations," whose theologies are "almost identical," he said. He is in the midst of a transfer process that will see him interviewed by a Free Methodist board "to make sure my theology is compatible." He must also
attend a course called The Heart of Canadian Free Methodism, which he said he's "looking forward to" as it is, essentially, the history of the church in Canada. Though having been in his new role since Sept. 1, "it's a little bit different from what I am used to."
Family ties Changing between denominations is nothing new for Russett or his family. Born in Arnprior, he was raised on a dairy farm located between Renfrew and Anrprior. "My father was United, my mother was Baptist," he recalled, but the family decided to begin attending the local United church until about the time he was born. At that time, the "United Church brought in some theology (my parents) were not happy with," so they moved to the Wesleyan church. "My parents were not hung up on denomina-
tions," he said. They even took part in the Christian "charismatic movement" in the 1970s. For as long as he could remember, "I knew that God had called me to ministry when I was very young," he said. "There was not a date or a time, just a sense," when he came to realize God's plan for him. His Heavenly Father had one plan for him, but his earthly father had other plans. "My dad wanted me to be a farmer!" he laughed. After graduating from Arnprior District High School, he studied at the North American Baptist College in Edmonton. He had an uncle who lived in the Alberta capital and worked as a Baptist minister. "He had a significant influence in my life," he said. During his time in Ottawa, he studied at the Northeastern Seminary in Rochester, New York, for his doc-
tor of ministry. While his full title is Rev. Dr. Brent Russett, "I would prefer people call me Brent." He admits that he was somewhat of a keener in school, finishing what was then five years of Ontario high school in four and completing his theology studies early too. At the age of 22, he already had his first ministry, serving as a solo pastor at Bruce Mines Wesleyan Church, about 70 km southeast of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. He shakes his head at his youthful impetuousness. "What was I thinking?" he laughs. "But God was good. I met my wife when I was up there." Lynda was working as a physiotherapist, and her uncle worked as a minister in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He spent five years ministering to the faithful in Bruce Mines, though he and Lynda were married in Owen Sound, Ont., where
her family is from. Her parents now live in the Perth area. In fact, "her parents are part of this church," he said. (Dr. Ian Jackson is Lynda's father.)
Perth plans Back in Ottawa, "we had a lot of university students (attend our church)," with Carleton University situated nearby, as well as "a lot of very, very well-educated people." In Perth, he has met "some really wonderful, down-to-earth people." Members of his flock in Ottawa had asked him, "How will you adapt to life in a small town?" Having been raised on a dairy farm in the Upper Ottawa Valley, he replied, "I'm getting back to my roots ... (I am) looking forward to walking with them in their spiritual journey. This church has a lot of potential to do a lot of good in Perth." One new member of his congregation who is hoping to do some of that good
work is his own wife. Once they have completed their move from Ottawa on Oct. 15, Lynda, who has a masters in social work, is looking to set up a counselling service. "It's easier to access those things in the city than in the country," he said. In his spare time, Russett says he enjoys motorcycling. "Perth is a great place to have as a starting place for that," he said. (He has a Suzuki 60 Bergman, though he hopes to "upgrade it to a touring bike.") He also enjoys reading thriller novels as well as books on technology, Christianity and culture, and leadership. He "mentored a whole pile of young leaders" at his church in Ottawa, he said. He and Lynda have two children, Ethan, 22, who works in Fredericton, NB, as a computer programmer, and daughter Amy, 20, who is studying psychology at Carleton University.

PASTOR CHANGES DENOMINATIONS TO MINISTER TO ASBURY FREE METHODIST CHURCH
Perth’s Future? 380 jobs lost in a town that can’t afford the loss of even one more job. Just the latest setback in a quarter century of economic decline. A healthy economy is the essential foundation upon which any community must be built. However, our municipal government has accelerated the decline by: • Creating a culture at Town Hall that actively discourages investment and development; • Increasing taxes and user fees to the point where prospective new businesses and residents have a disincentive to relocate here. • Ignoring the obvious imperative of making economic development the number one priority for our municipal government You have a clear and critical decision to make. John Fenik has been on Council for 21 years—12 as Mayor. John Gemmell has been on Council for 15 years—9 as Deputy Mayor. They are the leaders responsible for where we find ourselves. The only issue in this election is rebuilding our economy before it’s too late. I’m the only candidate that understands this. I’m the only candidate with a plan to get it done.
On October 22nd let’s fix it.

SCOTT COOK SUPPORTS PERTH'S HIS HOUSE INITIATIVE AT OCT. 28 CONCERT ENJOY CANADIAN TROUBADOUR'S BLEND OF FOLK IN QUIET SETTING, STEVE TENNANT WRITES STEVE TENNANT Column
After a wonderful summer of trying to fit in all we can outdoors, we find ourselves now looking for indoor activities. Might I suggest you consider our Listening Room Series if you enjoy singer-songwriter live original music in a quiet setting. We welcome Scott Cook, a Canadian prairie lad who boldly shares his heart via his solo performances liter-
ally around the world, many times, on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Part of the funds will go to assist the good things done by His House - a nonprofit hub support in downtown Perth. Cook really is one of Canada's true troubadours as he's constantly on the road, across Canada, the United States, Australia and Asia. His songs mine his exploits of the road in honest, insightful ways while his personal charm shines through it all. He's touring in support of his sixth album, entitled Further Down the Line, nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award. David Francey, Canadian multi-award winning singer-songwriter captures Cook beautifully in his comments: "Scott Cook has distilled his travels down into songs powered by a sharp eye for imagery,
a healthy dose of humanity, and that unforgettable voice, that at the same time intones the rigours of the road and the most comfortable couch you have ever slept on." Tickets are $20. For dinner reservations and show only tickets, please call Sue at 613-267-7902 to arrange payment. All tickets are to be paid for, in advance. Thanks to our many supporters our shows have been selling out. Tickets are already selling quickly so call soon. I look forward to seeing you there enjoying such wonderful talent of this world class singersongwriter, while supporting a worthy cause. Steve Tennant shares his passion for live, local music through his regular column in our Ottawa Valley newspapers. He can be reached at ferdburphyll@gmail.com.
ALGONQUIN COLLEGE PERTH CAMPUS HOSTS UNITED WAY BREAKFAST OCT. 25 Algonquin College Perth Campus, a longtime supporter of United Way Lanark County (UWLC), will host its annual kickoff breakfast on Thursday, Oct. 25, to celebrate the work of United Way Lanark County. This breakfast event is open to the public and runs from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the cafeteria of the college campus, located at 7 Craig Street in Perth. Jamie Law of Law & Orders will be preparing a wonderful buffet breakfast for all to enjoy. Many of Algonquin's students and graduates in the social service worker and personal support worker programs work at agencies supported by the United Ways in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Ottawa. "This is an opportunity to highlight the work of UWLC's partners in the community, where Algonquin students gain practical experience, as well as employment," noted UWLC advisory council chair Helen McIntosh. "At the breakfast, you will have the opportunity to learn about the work of some of our partners - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, Lanark County Community Justice Program, Lanark County Interval House, Perth Enrichment Program for Older Adults and YAK Youth Centre and meet members of their staff and volunteers." Tickets for the breakfast are $8 and will include a full special breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, fruit and other treats -
something for everyone to enjoy! Tickets can be purchased at the front office of the Algonquin College Perth Campus with cash only. In addition to the breakfast, Algonquin College Perth will be holding a book sale the week of Oct. 22 outside of the library. And, for your sweet tooth, the college will be holding a bake sale on Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the front foyer. Proceeds from the book and bake sale along with a portion of each breakfast purchased will go toward the United Way Lanark County 2018 annual Fall Campaign to raise funds for the community. "Algonquin has a long tradition of supporting our local United Way, and this is an excellent opportunity for us to show that support," said Dean Christopher Hahn, "while at the same time having the community drop by to see our campus and meet our students. As a courtesy to our visitors, the campus parking lot will feature free parking for the day." So mark the date in your calendar - Oct. 25, 7:30 until 9:30 a.m., at the Algonquin College Campus in Perth - and we hope you will join in on the celebration breakfast for the United Way Lanark County and help us raise funds for your community. And remember - all money raised in Lanark County stays in Lanark County in our 100 per cent local effort. For more information, please contact the United Way Lanark County office at 613-2539074 or Amy Elsner, community partnership development officer, via email at aelsner@unitedwaylanarkcounty.ca.

The family of the late Doris Blackburn would like to thank everyone who supported us during this very sad time. The wonderful staff at Orchard View enveloped Mom and us with caring and compassion during her journey with Dementia. Many thanks to the staff at Barker’s Funeral Home for their guidance and assistance. Mom’s Celebration of Life at St James Anglican Church was a heartfelt and loving tribute with the assistance of many people including The Ven. Brian Kauk, The Rev. Canon David Andrew, Choir Director Ian Guenette and the choir, and our “church family” members. The luncheon and reception afterwards was beautiful due to all the special touches from St. James “kitchen crew”. Thanks to family, friends and former teaching colleagues for attending Mom’s visitation and the many generous donations to the Alzheimers Society and UCDSB Champions for Kids Foundation. All the kind words, caring gestures and hugs have made us realize even more how lucky we were to have her and how much we will miss her.
We would like to thank our family and friends for helping us celebrate our 65th Wedding Anniversary. Many thanks to those that helped supply a lovely lunch. We mustn’t forget to mention the many relations that came from quite a distance to be with us on this important occasion. Some came from Cambridge, Brampton, Ottawa, Newmarket, Guelph, Niagara Falls and Cornwall. So many of our good friends and neighbours took the time to come and wish us well. Many thanks to Father McNally for saying the Mass for our intention and presenting us with the certificate from the Pope. Also for coming out to have a visit with us and give us His Blessing. If we have missed anyone it is not intentional and once again thank you to everyone that visited us, gave cards, sent cards and gifts and phoned. Its a day we won’t forget for as long as we are here.

Coventry, England April 05, 1921-September 30, 2018 It is with profound sadness and a modicum of relief that we announce Norma’s passing at Ottawa, in the early morning hours of September 30th, 2018, finally at peace. She will be achingly missed by Jack, her devoted and loving husband of 74 years, her son Peter (Karen, grandsons Benjamin and Luke), daughter Lois (Richard and family), grandchildren Megan (Kevin, great granddaughter Abigail Zelia), Peter (great grandson Garrett) and Tyler (Sara, twin great granddaughters Elle and Parker), predeceased by daughter Linda Jeanne (October 03, 2012). Norma set out on her amazing journey of life in Coventry, England. She joined the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force) during WWII where she met her RCAF war hero and soon to be husband Jack. Norma, as many war brides did, came to Canada ready to continue her married life through years of military and diplomatic service with postings across the country and around the world including: Accra, Ghana, Nairobi, Kenya, New Delhi, India and France where they both proudly represented Canada. Over her many years of travel with Jack, Norma thrived as a wife, home maker and social director par excellence! Her artistic ability was and is exemplified in many projects completed over the years, represented by pastel, oil and acrylic paintings, award winning poetry, outstandingly complex knitted and crocheted sweaters and blankets, delicious soups (in which Dad would inevitably get the only bone to be found in the pot!!), decadent traditional English Christmas pudding and cakes. She left us an incredible legacy of memories of her wicked sense of humour, joy of fishing, golfing, tennis and escapades in Naples, Florida, walks along the beach in Mombasa and so much more. Norma also dedicated over 30 years of volunteering by knitting hats and booties for newborns and other duties as needed at the Naples Hospital. Our warmest thanks to the ladies and gentlemen PSWs and nurses from G2N and R2S at the Perley Rideau for their understanding, guidance and patience. Norma’s memorial will be set for a later date.

Rudy Lepage Oct. 15, 1941-Oct 15, 1998 In Loving memory, on the 20th Anniversary of our Dad’s passing. Happy Birthday Dad xoxo He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there....A firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings Was the man we call Dad. Les, Norm, Rick, Debbie, Darlene (Joan)
DUBE, Michel (Mike) – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and papa who left us October 9th, 2015. You’ve just walked ahead of us And we’ve got to understand. That we must release the ones we love And let go of their hand. Everyday you’re missed so much We wish we could see your smile. And once more feel your touch Even if it’s for just a while. Yes, you’ve just walked ahead of us But, Don’t worry we’ll be O’Kay Because now and then we swear We see your smile come our way. In our hearts we know Jesus has the answer We know you believed in him so And that’s why we can give the greatest gift, the gift of letting go. Until we meet again Always remembered, sadly missed and loved by his wife Patsy, his children and grandchildren

100 WOMEN WHO CARE LANARK COUNTY DONATES $4,600 TO INTERVAL HOUSE
Submitted/100 Women Who Care Lanark County The 100 Women Who Care Lanark County group made a $4,600 donation to Lanark County Interval House during its fifth quarter meeting Sept. 17. The funds will be put toward Interval House's second stage housing project in Carleton Place.
The 100 Women Who Care Lanark County group met on Sept. 17 in the community room at Mitchell's Independent Grocer in Carleton Place, Ont., for their fifth quarterly meeting where they donated $4,600 to Lanark County Interval House (LCIH). LCIH is planning to use the funds raised toward its secondstage housing project, which will provide transitional housing for women and children leaving abusive situations. Since its first meeting in September 2017, 100 Women Who Care of Lanark County has donated over $18,000 to local charities. The mission of the 100 Women Who Care is to make a big impact to smaller community based charities. Erin Lee, executive director of
Lanark County Interval House had this to say: "100 Women Who Care Lanark provides a beautiful opportunity for charities to share their information, extend their network and be the chosen recipient of thousands of dollars. It is outstanding when local women effect local change, and these women really demonstrate their care for our community." 100 Women Who Care is for you if: you don't have time in your busy life to volunteer but have been wanting to help those in need, and you can commit to one hour four times per year; you want 100 per cent of your donations to go directly to a local charity; you want your $100 donation to become a part of a larger amount of money by joining together with other women - cre-
ating a powerful impact in our local area. The next quarterly meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 26 at Mitchell's Independent Grocer in the community room upstairs. Registration opens at 6 p.m. and the meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments are provided. If you would like to learn more about 100 Women Who Care Lanark County or would like to join our movement, please reach out to Jeannie Mongrain at 613-2669865 or Lynn Vardy at 613-3155966 or at 100womenlanark@gmail.com or find them on Facebook at 100 Women Who Care Lanark County.

MARY COOK RECALLS HOW SALES DRIED UP AFTER JUST 1 WEEK There was no reason in the world, Mother thought, that she couldn't add a bit more cash to her egg money. Although it was all called "egg money," it could come from selling drawn chickens, butter or sticky buns, fresh vegetables when our garden was flourishing in the summer time, and of course, eggs. But fall had settled in, and Mother was anxious to make up for the loss of vegetable sales when she went door to door every Saturday through the streets of Renfrew. And she knew just how she was going to do it too. Aunt Bertha Thom on our next farm had showed Mother how to make homemade soap, and she could see no reason why she couldn't add these little bars to her peddling door to door. She was sure the housewives of Renfrew would be delighted. Of course, she had to perfect the soap-making first. She was new at the job, and we five kids thought Mother needed a lot more practice before she could add homemade soap to her list. We stayed well away from her when she was putting everything together. We saw her use Gillett's Lye, which took our breath away if we came with-

in five feet of it, and my sister Audrey was sure she would see smoke coming out of the tin when Mother opened it. Water was boiled, and rendered fat got its way into the mix too. Mother even bought a fresh lemon and added its juice as well. As soon as we tried it with our Saturday night bath, we knew Mother had a lot to learn. For some reason, bits of the lye hadn't melted, and we kids ended up with scratches all over our bodies. We begged Mother to let us use the one and only bar of Ivory soap we had on the farm, and was supposed to be used for company. She said the next batch she would make would be vastly improved, and the bar of Ivory was wrapped up and put away, and whether we liked it or not, we had to get used to the homemade lye soap! Mother was sure the next batch would be better. She said she learned that the water had to be at a rolling boil when poured onto the lye, and she said two lemons were better than one. Father was sure Mother was losing money on the whole idea. Gillett's Lye wasn't cheap, and buying fresh lemons was a sheer luxury. But Mother said she was sure selling the little bars at 15 cents apiece would more than pay for

The York-Simcoe Progressive Conservative MPP was last in Smiths Falls when she held a campaign rally at the Lions Club hall on the south side of town during the party's leadership campaign. This time, she returned as a member of the new Ford government, and was given a tour of the Tweed plant by Canopy Growth Corp. CEO Bruce Linton. She was joined for the walkabout by LanarkFrontenac-Kingston MPP Randy Hillier, Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow and Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston MP Scott Reid.

MOTHER'S ATTEMPT AT PRODUCING HOMEMADE SOAP SHORT-LIVED
the money she spent making the soap. Well, that first Saturday, Mother's customers seemed delighted to have a bar of freshly made soap right off the farm, and it didn't take long to empty the basket she had packed the soap in. She was so excited, she went right over to Scott's Hardware and bought not one, but two tins of Gillett's Lye! Well, the next Saturday, soap sales slowed down to a crawl. Every customer who had bought the week before complained about the bits and pieces of unmelted lye which left scratch marks all over the user's body. "We'll still buy your eggs, chickens and buns, but we'll pass on the homemade soap, if you don't mind," was what we heard at every house where we had sold the soap the week before. Well, much to our relief, Mother gave up on the homemade lye soap. The bar of Ivory came out on Saturday night, sparingly used for our tub baths, and then wrapped and put away for another week. And we were back to the big yellow bar with no name that came from Briscoe's General Store, and which sat in a saucer by the wash basin in the kitchen, used to wash up before we could put a crumb of food in our mouths. The homemade lye soap was never mentioned again. Interested in an electronic version of Mary's books?
